2005 Mercury Grand marquis problems
The Mercury Grand Marquis is an automobile that was produced by Mercury from the 1975 until 2011 model years. Introduced as the flagship sub-model of the Mercury Marquis in 1975, the Grand Marquis became a stand-alone model line in 1983, serving as the largest Mercury sedan. The model line served as the sedan counterpart of the Mercury Colony Park station wagon up to 1991. The fourth generation was the basis of the 2003 and 2004 Mercury Marauder.
From 1979 until 2011, the Grand Marquis shared the rear-wheel drive (RWD) Panther platform with the Ford LTD Crown Victoria (Ford Crown Victoria after 1992), and from 1980, the Lincoln Town Car. For over three decades, the Ford and Mercury sedans were functionally identical, with two of the three generations of the model line sharing the same roofline. The Grand Marquis was available as a four-door sedan for nearly its entire run; from 1988 to its final year in 2011, it was the only body style that was offered. A four-door hardtop was available from 1975 to 1978 and a two-door hardtop coupe from 1975 to 1987.
The Grand Marquis was the second-best-selling Mercury line (after the Cougar) with 2.7 million units produced; at 36 years of continuous production, the Grand Marquis was the longest-running Mercury nameplate (the Cougar, 34 years). Ford manufactured the Grand Marquis, alongside the Mercury Marquis, Mercury Marauder, Ford (LTD) Crown Victoria, and (beginning in 2007) the Lincoln Town Car, at two facilities: the St. Louis Assembly Plant in Hazelwood, Missouri (1979-1985) and the St. Thomas Assembly Plant in Southwold, Ontario, Canada (1986-2011).
Ford announced the discontinuation of the Mercury brand in 2010, but a few 2011 model-year Mercurys were made. The last Grand Marquis - and the final Mercury branded car - was produced on January 4, 2011, at St. Thomas Assembly.

Common 2005 Mercury Grand marquis problems
The Mercury Grand Marquis, produced from 1975 to 2011, has been known for its reliability and decent price-to-quality ratio.
Another common problem is related to visibility, with premature windshield cracks being a significant concern for various generations of the Grand Marquis. This issue is caused by improper windshield retention, which can lead to the windshield not being properly attached to the body. A recall was issued in 2006 to fix this problem, but drivers should also be aware of windshield wiper modules that may not operate under heavy load.
The 2005 model year, in particular, has been reported to have issues with headlights not working properly, with an average cost to fix of $500 and an average mileage of 83,000 miles. This problem is the most-reported issue for the 2005 Grand Marquis, indicating that it may be a significant trouble spot for owners of this model year.
The 2003 and 2005 models of the fourth generation Grand Marquis are considered the worst-rated models, with faulty electrical connections leading to problems with headlights, A/C unit faults, and windows in the 2003 model and similar issues in the 2005 model.
In general, the Grand Marquis has been a reliable car, with the final 2011 model and the older 1991 model being considered the most reliable. It is recommended to go for a 2002 or later model to avoid these issues.
